Classification of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases and Their Transcriptional Response to Abiotic Stresses in Halophyte Nitraria sibirica [PDF]
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are key Ca2+ sensors in plants, mediating responses to abiotic stresses via phosphorylation signaling. In the halophyte Nitraria sibirica, which thrives in saline soils, we identified 19 CDPK genes (NsCDPKs) and ...

Investigating the effect of Gotvand Dam on changes in soil salinity and vegetation cover of downstream lands of the dam using satellite imagery and spectral indices [PDF]
Introduction: One of the most important factors that play a major role in reducing soil fertility and agricultural land degradation is soil salinization. Soil salinity problem is more severe in agricultural lands of arid and semi-arid regions.
